Housing and waste disposal are major issue in cities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Recent advances in globalization and modernization have resulted in cities being occupied by the vast majority of the population.

This

has resulted in various issues among which housing and the problem of

waste

disposal are the major ones. I totally agree with

this

statement and will present my reasoning in support of

this

in the subsequent paragraphs. To commence with, the construction of concrete buildings has taken place in a haphazard manner without considering the necessity of the natural environment.

Consequently

, it has aggravated

air

pollution as there are no trees available to capture the harmful gases released and alter them.

For instance

, it has been generally found in Nepal that the major cities

such

as Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Chitwan and so on are recorded with low

air

quality index in comparison to the villages.

Therefore

, mismanaged planning of the household colonies contributes to

air

pollution. In a similar manner, the management of

waste

either degradable or non-degradable is not an easy task either in huge city areas. On a daily basis kitchens, farmyards, hospitals, and public places produce tons of unwanted output which makes it complex for the metropolis in disposing of it in the right place.

Moreover

, landfills

also

get packed within a month and with the slow degradation ,process extra land areas are not available.

For example

, in Kathmandu city of Nepal daily vast amount of

waste

is generated but only a single disposing site named Sisdol is available which is common for the other two metropolitan cities

also

.

As a result

, the lack of appropriate and adequate dumping ,sites causes major problems. In a nutshell, due to the upward trend of population densities, housing and

waste

production have occurred as main issues which result in low

air

quality and a lack of disposal sites.
